Evolution of the brain took place differently because the men were mostly hunters, and women mostly harvesters …
British scientists announced that they have come to the conclusion that men are better at seeing and distinguishing distant objects, while women see better facilities closer because of the differentiation in the evolution of the brain during the hunting-harvesting way of life in the distant past.
The theory is tested on a group of 48 men and women who used laser to mark the center of the line on paper that was gradually moving away from them. The results showed that men were more accurate when the paper was at a distance of 100 cm and women when it was at a distance of 50 centimeters, or ‘at their hands’, reports PhysOrg.
“Evidence of separate processing of foreground and further visual information in the brain already exist. The results of our study show that women developed a better way for neural perception of foreground and men for the perception of distant objects,” said one of the psychologists from Hammersmith and West College London where they performed the test, whose results were published in the British Journal of Psychology.
Psychologists agree about the conclusion that the separation of visual perception between the sexes is due to thousand years of different ways of life, and the division of labor between men and women.
As dominant harvesters, women had to develop a better perception for the deft work in smaller and closed spaces while men as dominant hunters were forced to perceive prey at greater distances in the open air, the scientists explained.
